The owner of The Karma Project, Karma Geljen Sherpa, is also our lead guide and is part of every trip we run. His story is not only inspirational, but is also just one of hundreds of examples of Sherpa people impacting their communities in positive ways. When you are in Nepal, Karma will make sure you not only are taken care of, but that you truly experience everything Nepal has to offer and leave with a sense of connection with his land and people.

“Hicham, the Sahara guide, was so knowledgeable and experienced my apprehension about trekking through the sand dunes quickly dissipated.  Walking through the uniquely monotonous and beautiful desert allowed me to experience a quiet peace and confidence I hadn't felt in recent memory.” Joy P
